Alan Taylor Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I wonder if the collective mind could help me source a connector. Picture below it's the female end of a 12V cigarette lead for a Kensington power supply that I stupidly lost. Kensington won't supply the lead on its own and I'm reluctant to junk the whole unit so I want to make up a new lead. So if anyone can identify it or, better still, knows where I can get one (the connector)..... (It's not, I think, a 4 pin DIN which it resembles closely though if I can find one easily I might see if it fits.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Schweizer Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Without having a diameter dimension, it is difficult to judge, but it looks very similar to the 12v DC power lead connection found on some digital televisions, which are a bit larger than standard DIN plugs.

alan_fincher Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Please take shots from side as well and get them in focus! And maybe lay a ruler across below it, to allow us to judge the size. Without the suggestion it may be roughly DIN plug size, my assumption from the picture alone would have been something somewhat smaller.

Sorry about out of focus image, it's without side by side comparison exactly the same size as a DIN 4 way but the pins are fatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Taylor Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I have a bit more information; it's called a Kycon 4 pin cable socket but I can't find one anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd got this far, which seems to imply it's not available as a female cable socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also considering internal surgery to change the gender or fit an alternative plug. I'll fire off an email to kycon see if there is a UK supplier. thanks everybody.
